FORGIVENESS BE DAMNED
A gripping thriller with an emotional twist.
Dysfunctional families often perpetuate unspoken rules: don’t talk, don’t trust, and don’t feel. It’s said that too many authors write as though their mothers are reading their words. That was not the case for me with Forgiveness Be Damned. Mother was shocked to read this story!
Our characters, even the truly heinous ones, are not so unlike you and me. Just like us, they’re desperate for happiness and freedom and connection. They’d prefer to have their cake and eat it too. What sort of dysfunction do you want to read about? One where a member of the family is the lightning rod for everyone else’s difficulties? Complexities of characters have developed during childhood and into adolescence. Their family years – are always going to be there, bubbling away under the surface. Our awareness of their backstories help us write deeper, more human-like characters. It’s astonishing the way people who loath each other and loath being together stay!
